“Laughter is much more important than applause. Applause is almost a du...” — Carol Channing Quote

“Laughter is much more important than applause. Applause is almost a duty. Laughter is a reward.”

“You just have to stick to it beyond all reason and all sanity; you just keep at it. You have to believe that you've got to be in the theater.”

“There are a lot of actors that don't like touring and will do just about anything to get out of it, but I loved it. I loved the cities, the people, and the new experiences it offered.”

“The applause is a celebration not only of the actors but also of the audience. It constitutes a shared moment of delight.”

“As they marched, the crowds lining the route broke into applause, a sweet and deeply felt spontaneous pattering that was a sort of communal embrace. Welcome home.”

“For 'Iron Man' I had to improv with Robert Downey Jr., which is like going up against LeBron in basketball. At one point he stopped and said, 'Can we give a round of applause to Olivia, because she's rocking it right now.'”
